When I first saw it, I assumed the graphics - for they appear to be a vinyl transfer - were applied for advertising purposes. Perhaps they are? There may be a business name or phone number on the back.

Otherwise it's just a normal car with custom paint and graphics. I believe the criticism was of the owner's taste; rather than implying it's a weird bus/car hybrid dealy.

For the record I like it. It's urban bad taste gone too far, has emerged at the camp end of the spectrum and appears rather fabulous because of it. I hate boring saloon cars, but probably would drive that one!

Eh?
The bus and the BMW are two separate vehicles.
Do I need a massive whoosh parrot or something? Is there a joke within a joke here that my simple mind isn't getting?

One massive whoosh parrot for Sir;

If only someone who looks a bit like me had put a tongue-in-cheek footnote at the bottom of my post...

[scarble]

No one reads footnotes because they only ever read

B4 is too yoof for me!

Anyway, I think this thread has gone the way the OP intended so we can all be pleased with ourselves.

Don't read this bit, there's nothing here.

Thank you sir. My eyesight isn't what it used to be. I did indeed miss your footnote. I can rest my mind now.

Yorkshire number plates. Same as all the Olympics BMWs were.

I'm guessing no connection.

I doubt it because every car registered to BMW for use by the company or company employees on a special lease deal has a Yorkshire registration because of where BMW register them. Search on BMWs website for used BMWs up to a year old and most of the results will be Yorkshire registered cars your local dealer can order in from BMW.

The cars used in the Olympics were mostly 320ED and 520ED models, few were Sport models.

Tom Green's Slutmobile was better.

I really don't get it

I like that. It's nice to look at, unlike 99% of other aftermarket alterations people make to their vehicles.

It was a discussion point - I don't mind which way it goes - that's how a discussion works isn't it?

But in every discussion you learn something

And I really did learn something - Thanks

I prefer the Routemaster.

[scarble]

Pah, the routemaster isn't a patch on the good old Regent IV

[Chicane-UK]

Not something I'd do myself, but actually I kinda like it.

Is that the one with the driver sitting in the separated cab section, IYKWIM ?

I think you mean Regent III, old boy!

[sabre]

the best I have seen was a mural of Jeremy Clarkson gagged and locked in the boot of a Chrysler 330C.
It was full size across the boot..wish I had a camera on me!

oh gosh, no I definitely mean IV, my dear chap, I most definitely mean IV.

There is no such thing as an AEC Regent IV. The bus before the RM Routemaster was the RT Regent ÌII.

Yes there is such thing, it may not have gone into production but it did exist and it was a fine specimen of an omnibus

Really I was just referencing that earlier wibble in that other thread, ssnphs or whichever it was, well done for taking the bait.
